    Lemon Tart

    Lemon tart is both my mom’s and my aunt’s favorite. Actually, whenever my mom makes it, my aunt just has to drop by and take half of it. No lie. My mom’s version is a bit more acid as she puts less sugar. This was my first attempt ever at making a lemon tart, and I gotta say I am quite happy with how it turned out. The filling is sweet and quite creamy as well. Hope you try it 🙂

    Naans (with Baking Powder)

    I absolutely love indian food, and especially naans. Naans are flat breads which are baked on a pan, and due to the oil and/or butter they’re soft. What I like is there’s no oven needed, so it’s less trouble. People are usually afraid to make the dough – they shouldn’t ! The secret is to put a generous amount of flour and gradually  add the milk while mixing. Working the dough toroughly also helps make it softer. Trust me, naans are worth the mess.

    Pumpkin Latte

    Fall is my second favorite season. I love not only seeing orange and brown everywhere, but also how it becomes acceptable to spend evenings at home with a hot drink (to be fair, I’m a granny at heart so I’m at home with a hot drink, a good book and some comfy PJs pretty much every day of the year). Also, I love seeing pumking everything, everywhere.  I’m both a coffee and a tea lover, but sometimes it’s good to twist things a bit (I do that a lot, right ?). Hope you like this drink, was definitely good and I can’t wait to make it again x

    Skinny Classic Cheesecake

    People, rejoice. The cheesecake is back. Cheesecake is not especially my favorite dessert, and I’m starting to wonder why actually. This cheesecake was sweet, creamy, perfect. Do it. Do it. Do it. The secret with cheesecake is you can add fruits on top and then it feels healthier as fruits have nutrients (and some other stuff) in them. I was actually supposed to put peached on them, and even bought some canned peaches, but I then realized juicy blueberries look better on pictures (look does matter folks in food. Most of the time 🙄). I ended up eating the peaches, cause, damn! Canned peaches are good. So good.

    Peanut Butter Cupcakes

    Everytime someone tells me they hate peanut butter, I look at them with my eyes wide open. Yes yes, it’s full of fat and calories but then again, what would a PB&Jam toast be without peanut butter (a jam toast, I get ya). Anyways, the other day I was bored (understand procrastinating) and decided to use the PB powder I had recently bought. PB powder has got like a fourth of regular PB calories, so even though it doesn’t taste exactly like the real thing, it’s a good option for health conscious people or those who just love PB too much *cough* even though they’re allergic *cough* and wanna eat…

    Healthy Apple Crumble

    Who else loves apple crumble ? I honestly love anything with apples, especially baked, and crumble with warm custard is one of my weaknessez. Now obviously, crumble is pretty much lots of butter and sugar so it’s good to twist the recipe from time to time – though I must say nothing beats the original recipe 😊 Hope you like this lighter version x ​ [recipe-instructions] 1. Peel and dice the apple. Mix it with 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon then divide in 4 cupcake cups and place in a cupcake tray 2. Prepare the top of the crumble: mix the oats, sugar, butter, and applesauce, then…

    Lemon Cake with Cream Cheese Glazing

    So…this happened. I’m in a “lemon phase”: I had the best dessert with lemom curd and graham crackers for my birthday, and I’ve been drinking crazy amounts of sparkling water with lemon drops lately (so so refreshing). This cake is moist, delicious, sweet, everything you want in a cake. Plus, lemons help with sore throat and help fight the flu. Just saying 😎 ​ [recipe-instructions] 1. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, pinch of salt and lemon zest. Mix well. 2. Add the beaten eggs, softened butter, lemon juice and gradually add the milk while stirring. 3. Grease a rectangular cake tin and bake for about…
